IAM Live: Auto IP USA

IAM Live: Auto IP USA is IAM's flagship one-day conference dedicated to intellectual property in the automotive and mobility sector. The 2026 edition took place on April 16, 2026 at The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit (1114 Washington Blvd, Detroit, Michigan, USA), convening more than 150 IP leaders, policymakers, General Counsels and supply-chain innovators.

The programme explores how patent strategy, standard-essential patent (SEP) licensing, and global litigation trends are reshaping the future of mobility — from autonomous and electric vehicles to emerging technology fields. Speaker sessions examine the impact of AV/EV transformation on IP portfolios, licensing opportunities in new mobility, and the latest cross-border dispute developments.

Organised by IAM (Intellectual Asset Management, part of Law Business Research), Auto IP USA has become the premier hub for the automotive IP elite to exchange strategies and build high-value connections. The next edition date has not yet been announced; this record reflects the most recent confirmed edition.
